Homes backing to open space in the West Valley appeal to buyers who want greater privacy, fewer immediate rear neighbors and a more open backyard setting. Depending on the property, open space may include a landscaped greenbelt, community common area, natural wash, trail corridor, park, preserved desert or other non-residential land. These homes can provide longer sightlines and a less enclosed feel without requiring buyers to purchase a large-acreage property. Across Goodyear, Buckeye, Peoria, Surprise, Glendale, Avondale, Litchfield Park, Waddell and other West Valley communities, open-space lots can be especially desirable when paired with parks, trails, mountain views or other outdoor amenities. Availability varies considerably by city, neighborhood and price range, making these homes more limited than standard interior lots in many communities.
